I'd say, as a standard, the J Coltrane version of "My Favorite Things" can't be beat.

Also, the Robert Wyatt version of "Shipbuilding" (Written by Elvis Costello)
The Miles Davis version of "Darn That Dream"
The billions of versions of "Louie Louie"
Glice - great call on "The Wild Rover"
The mulitvarious versions of "Hey Joe"
The versions of "I'm A Man" (no-one knows the original version, from my slender knowledge, but covered v well by both Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley)
The many rip-offs of the "Peter Gunn" riff
And on the dance tip, the "Amen" riff, for sure.
